Special Assistant to the Provost Richard B. Pagett, who served as a transitional executive director of CID this summer, says a number of basic preconditions underlay the steering committee’s charge...
...book that made his reputation in the profession--although it sold poorly--was The Interpretation of Dreams (1900), an indefinable masterpiece--part dream analysis, part autobiography, part theory of the mind, part history of contemporary Vienna. The principle that underlay this work was that mental experiences and entities, like physical ones, are part of nature. This meant that Freud could admit no mere accidents in mental procedures. The most nonsensical notion, the most casual slip of the tongue, the most fantastic dream, must have a meaning and can be used to unriddle the often incomprehensible maneuvers we call thinking...
...sort of homage to longtime Lethal Weapon fans, the film ends with a not-quite-maudlin finale that merges with a multi-picture photo album underlay of the credits, but the real end of the movie comes fifteen minutes earlier, when Murtaugh and Riggs clasp each other and pause for a moment after vanquishing the last villain.

For instance, David Sanborn solos on alto saxophone for Adams' smoldering version of James Taylor's "Don't Let Me Be Lonely Tonight." Adams' voice brings far more desperation and emotion to the lyrics than Taylor's version. Plus, the low-pitched crooning here will intensify your appreciation of her range in later cuts like Billy Joel's "New York State of Mind." The fact that these two songs...
